1. Mom & Dad

Mom and Dad...

I don't think there are enough words or time for me to explain it all but I will try my best...

Dad, you have been a constant steady man in my life and someone I can always count on. You listen and give me advice but never pressure me too much. You tell me how it is when you feel strongly about something, and I know you love me for my strengths and weaknesses. When I have made mistakes you accept them and work with me to work through them. You love me unconditionally and there is no other man who will ever live up to that. Thanks for setting the bar so high.

Mom, because of you I have found, loved and succeeded in my career. You raised me with strong morals and beliefs. You taught me to be accepting, decisive, strong and independent. I call you almost everyday to talk 'work' and there is no one else who could take that place. You have been such a strong supporter in my life and career and I will never have anyone as special as you that can always hear what I'm saying, give me advice and just be a good ear for me to lean on.

I know that parents are supposed to be there to support their children but I feel that you go two above and beyond for my sister and I. Thank you for everything you do every day of every year - I appreciate you and love you both so much. 

Thankful
